Hunchback and tyrant? Yes. Child killer? Maybe

Now we know Richard III had a crooked back, the rest of the ‘Tudor myth’ is more plausible

The discovery of the body of Richard III has excited people who are not
normally interested in medieval history. It has shown that, just
occasionally, informed speculation can lead to archaeological discovery,
which in turn can lead to the confirmation or denial of historical rumour
and propaganda.

The DNA might allow specialists to connect a few dots in the picture of the
medieval royal family but otherwise what are the real consequences of
finding the bones of the last Plantagenet king? I struggle to think of any —
except more controversy.
